I know what you’re thinking. Is this food
blogger a bag lady in disguise? Did she scatter birdseeds all over a cake that
was served to her vertebrate guests? Yes, it’s true; the Central Park Pigeon
Lady from Home Alone 2 has a strong desire for baked goods.

This is a mildly spiced zucchini (and I’m
only calling it that because how fugly does courgette sound/look/read next to
zucchini? Plus I love Italian food, so I think this grants me access to their
terminology) cake studded with chunks of pistachio and the dust that
accumulated from chopping said chunks, mixed with ground almonds.

Getting a bit chilly isn’t it? Is there a
herd of food bloggers out there who totally love the arrival of cool air? The
sooner the cringe worthy gowns and Primarni pyjamas come out the better. I can
already smell the tea mug on bed linen Instagrams.

What square of confectionary, weighing in
at around 400 calories (don’t be afraid) would best accompany such Instagrams?
Salted caramel Millionaires Shortbread. Noticeably.

I baked a "farewell summer" pie - I am that sad. I used really sweet, short & fat peaches because their harvest stops at summer’s end. I thought this would make the pie sentimental, especially
for summer, because thats completely normal. I bagged 6 of these for £1.86 in the Turkish Food Centre! I went to
WholeFoods where they were charging 2 for £1. The choice was simple. Summer, it
was nice while it sort of lasted.
